Wings ashy-griseous, irrorated and spotted with fuscous, the anterior with ob- 

 solete darker strigse, and in fine examples a fuscous ring on the disc, adjoining 

 the second striga ; towards the hinder margin is a distinct whitish undulated 

 striga, towards the middle of which is a very distinct somewhat rounded white 

 patch ; and on the hinder margin is an irregular black line : ciUa griseous, in- 

 terrupted with fuscous : posterior wings with a pale waved striga towards the 

 hinder margin, and in some specimens one or more obsolete paler or fuscous 

 transverse strigae towards the base : ciUa fuscous, with the apex a little clouded 

 with griseous. 



Very rare, at least within the metropolitan district : it has been 

 found in the woods near Highgate and Colney-hatch, and I possess 

 a very fine pair that I captured many years since at Darenth-wood 

 in the beginning of June.
